I don't really know if any of Rei's scenes could be considered phunny. She's pretty dark through and through. She pwns Asuka a few times, though.

But you don't get any REAL laughs out of her? Man. Even the homunculi can be funny, and you can call them serious. No, wait. I bet that even the ANGELS are funnier than her.

Eeeeh, Eva's not really much for comedy. You'll get a few laughs with Asuka, but that's about it really. Eva's good for its plot, all that in depth phun stuff. If ya want something phunny, download the audio 'drama'. It's not licenced so you can legally do that, btw.

Oh, and as for comedy, I got my wish. It was in the latest Cartoon Network episode: In the Still Darkness. It goes like this:
Akagi: Even in the heat, the commanders can keep cool and commanding.
VC (forgot his name, and is standing in a bucket of water): It's hot.
Then there was a commercial break.

REI IS SUPOSE to be dark and serious. IT adds to her mysterious ways. SO WHAT if she is not suppose to be funny. And besides, if any on remebers correctily there is a very funny scene with her at the end of the series.
There is only one person that makes her happy. Gendo.
No, I'm not mad.
I got the platinum series. IT ROCKS!!! And the Evangelion movie has become pretty official. They plan to work on it after Halo possibley. Peter Jackson will produce Halo. I hope he directs Evangelion. I think Anthony Hopkins should play Gendo. I hope they don't change Tokyo 3 into New York or something like that. The only people that possibley could do better than PJ areHideakio Anno,Yoshiyuki Sadamento, and Stanley Kubrick who sadely died.
I've got the 4th volume of manga. I was awesome.

Hey, I noticed something: Why do all the Angels have to explode like nukes? I mean, come on! A normal explosion wouldn't suffice for them? Oh, and my friend told me that in End of Evangelion Asuka was torn apart by a bunch of mass-production Evas. Did EVA-02 go berserk at that time?

! WARNING: Contains spoilers
Phew... the bit about Asuka is really one you should see yourself, but basically Asuka finally realizes that the soul of her Mother resides in Unit 02. And she babbles a bit about what AT Field is, and very stylishly destroys Eva units 05-13 just in time for Eva 02's battery to die. But I suppose what Asuka didn't know was that the Eva series utilize the S2 organ, which *gasp* allows them to regenerate! So Eva's 05-13 come back to life and promptly devour Eva Unit 2, then proceed to nail what's left to the ground with Longinus Lances. It's a very disturbing part of the movie, especially in high quality.

Rei's pretty funny in the last episode of the series. But that is clearly a special case. There are a few places where she is so deadpan that it's funny.

I dunno if that really counts. o.o I mean, I don't think that was really Rei - I must admit the whole "This is the (insert character name here) that exists in your mind" or however it went really left my head spinning for a few days. Really interesting stuff though, those last few episodes. But yeah, sometimes she's phunny by herself. >< I like how she shows Asuka up those few times.

I was specifically thinking of how she says "Will you get off?" to Shinji. That cracked my %$ up.

I wouldn't consider that Rei in #26 was the really Rei, but just part of Shinji's fantasy realm to escape reality. What makes me laugh is how she totally burn Asuka for the first time.
Rei: I'll be your friend if I'm ordered to.
Because Rei is so dark and trys to lock her feelings away from all except Gendo, Asuka can't hr or anger her. However Rei did get really angr when Asuka keeps insulting Shinji saying he was dumb by getting sucked up by a angel. Then Rei REALLY BURNED Asuka.
Rei: I wonder. Do you only pilot for praise?
I laughed out of pure pleasure. I think Shinji may have made her madder though in #5 Rei I. Not completely sure. I've been rewtching the series.
Rei may be my favorite, but I still like all the characters from the show. Misato may be my second favorite. However Shinji and Asuka still rock hard. Does know one know who killed Kaji? It was probally some guard.

No, probably it was either Misato, Ritsuko, or Gendo himself. In the comics, interestingly enough, they make it look like it could not have been Misato who shot him, as she is locked up without a gun until after his death.

I don't quite remeber, haven't rewatched all the series yet, but maybe it wasVice-Commander Fuyutsuki. However, Gendo and Misato seem more logical. Why is Gendo up there with Misato? Just seems of his nature. But if I rember correctly, didn't the chances of it being Misato seem some what low? However, I don't quite remember.
I looked at the concept art fore NGE live action month ago. The Eva design rocks!!! Asuka and Misato facially creeped me ot in the costume design. Though faces were not the point. They say they will probally do it after the Halo movie.

What's his name(guy responsible for Eva whose name escapes me for some reason) came flat out and said Misato didn't kill Kaji, if my memory serves. Anyone could've done it really. He knew too much. And with all the conspiracies in Eva, just about anyone could've done it.

Hideakio Anno is his name. It was kind of sad. I really thought Kaji was a cool character. But you have to sacrifice good ones to help the story emotionally.
I have heard quite a few things about EoE. I heard it was made as a movie instead of a end to the series was because hey didn't have enough money before then. The one I believe is that he made out of revange towards all the fans that got mad and sent him death threats because they didn't like the end. These were shown at the beginnig of the movie. And also that the end to the sereies end was what he wanted in addition to that. I loved the movie, but still, the fans I believe should have shown more respect to the creator.
